Abstract
Modern Radiation Therapy techniques require novel methods for the computation and evaluation of plans. In this work, we develop the concept of Lévy distances between Dose Volume Histograms for the same volume of interest. It will be shown that Lévy distance is a global property, with a clear geometric interpretation, and rigorous mathematical foundations. A direct application to tumor control probability variation is provided.
